The conversational tone, humour and fun facts make this book excellent and relatable

“Jesus doesn’t say for us to follow in the way social media means follow. It doesn’t mean all that much if you say you are a follower of someone online. You don’t really know them. You don’t have to commit to anything or change your life in response to being near them. But Jesus expected people’s allegiance - to get up and go with him, wherever he leads.”
